We got ourselves a regular ol' NW line battle in 10 minutes. Celebrate the year of the horse by possibly getting killed by one.

EDIT: We're light infantry. We almost certainly will be killed by horses. Happy new year!

Yes we got Light Infantry. We could do with a few more goons in the Mumble as we're starting in a few minutes.

Also, more footage of hot ship on ship action with another Alpha video of Blackwake!

[LLJK]Pants: We must CHARGE them.
nurdbot/seanbeans: Dude, Pants, shut the gently caress up.
[LLJK]Pants: I will lead us to glory.
nurdbot: You're not even officer this round. You keep picking whoever you think has the best hat and ramboing.
[LLJK]Pants: It's a valid strategy.
nurdbot: Right, nobody listen to Pants, line up on me and
[LLJK]Pants: TO VICTORY
Dragoon: OMG I went with Pants and died
nurdbot: I'm so surprised.
Dragoon: The enemy arty is murdering everyone by the way, maybe someone still alive should kill them.

Today we actually had some success using light infantry as a hammer (well one of those rubber squeaky ones) in a hammer-and-anvil. It's just like the Total War games.

If anything I think we don't charge enough. :v: Lately "get shot in the back" has replaced "charge like a dumbass."

We got our Friday American NW line battle happening in around 40 minutes from this post. It is the one which fills up rapidly so remember not be late and get into the Mumble channel early!

So uh about that line battle. Apparently the videos of the snow map where we actually kicked rear end have a slight issue when being converted. That issue being of course being that the sound is two-three minutes ahead from the footage. I'm trying to fix it but hey have part 1 and part 2 right now!

For some reason, possibly due to the fact it is still pretty beta half of the footage I've taken since Friday with Shadow Play seems to de-sync and vanish halfway through the recorded footage of the videos.

I'm halting recording for now as I am not sure how to fix this weird rear end issue with about an hour of goon LB footage. I'm considering maybe looking into a different form of recording if a solution isn't fixed.

So you're saying that the only existing video footage that proves that I'm not a drunken gently caress-up of an officer is unusable? I was so proud of that moment.

Oh it exists yeah. Chances are though you won't hear who is doing what properly or at all. Without the mic there is confusion.

There is a B&I event later tonight for any Americans not interested in the Super Bowl and night owl Europeans!

He's not kidding. There is already like 80 dudes in that server and it isn't even 30 minutes yet. I'll be trying to get goons in 10 minutes before it begins because I have a feeling if you arrive last minute it is going to end up as a lock out.

Get into the Mumble channel ASAP.

I only sass when we're staring at certain death and a twenty minute wait in the face. I'd never cuss at Pants seriously though.

We got the EU Siege event in around 40 minutes time. Start to show up in the Mumble if you can come to the rumble.

Said glorious battle was 30 minutes. Talked with 15th's leader. That map is going to get some extensive tweaking including moving the pontoon bridges slightly and some other stuff.

Hilariously, the 90th rage quit because they thought we were using Musketoons with all our canister kills. Long range Musketoons.
